Denver looks like a team that has played 6 of their last 8 games on the road.

That wasn't an interception. The first replay they showed clearly showed the ball loose and he had to regain his grip. Other angles showed the ball moving at other points as well.

That was obviously an interception.

Concerning Ware, he has one sack in the last five games and two sacks over the last seven games.

I love what he did here, but I think we are fooling ourselves if we think his presence would have made a major difference on this defensive unit.

My wife is upset because they have to play while it's raining. :) Bless her heart. The most gentle soul. But I'm still chuckling when she isn't looking.

Great game to watch. Lots of offense. Plenty of rain. LOL. Proves even the great ones can suck it up on occasion.

Oh, and she saw Manning walking off the field and said he plays for NY. I broke out laughing.

He hasn't been a warrior for at least three years. Pick where you spend your money? How about week 16 with a first round bye on the line? Is that a good time for a warrior to spend his money or should he just steal a game check by going through the motions all game and not even attempting to make a play?

Dallas had to pick where they spent their money. Not Ware. He is a warrior. You just don't know football.

He started out well. Some bodies just age differently and wear out over the season differently as well.

Indy can do no better than a 4 seed. That loss to us might have done a little damage to them.

Peyton has many of the qualities of Eli, aside from their dumb face. Both can look great one on drive and then the next play, they leave you scratching your head. Both will throw picks at the worst time possible. Peyton has 2 pick 6s in his last 2 Super Bowls, both which pretty much sealed the game. Especially that one against the Saints.

He's a good player obviously but I get tired of him shoved down my throat every year and just how great he is. And how unstoppable this offense is after they play a few games. There was a thread on here about how unstoppable Denver was. And some of us said tap the brakes.

I'm not a Manning fan at all. Either of them. Love to see both of them lose. Especially when it comes as a direct result of their play.

Peyton works good out of the offensive system he has built around him since Indy. It's all about rhythm and timing. If you knock that out of whack, there is no backup plan for him. You saw that in the Super Bowl last year. Patriots did it to him all the time in his early days. If those receivers and coverage is not exactly what he needs it to be, you can make him look silly.

Crapburgh ain't making the Super Bowl. Mark that down!

Don't think so either but who will beat them other than NE? Ihope those two can't meet in the championship game because one is guaranteed to go :(

Did you watch the game tonight? Ware was a total waste of a good uniform. He didn't even give the broncos enough on the field to cover the wages of the guy who has to wash that uniform. He was beyond horrible. He was a warrior at one time but I know enough about football to recognize a total lack of effort by a DE when I see it.

Great points. And a lot of people love to use the word unstoppable when describing teams on here without realizing teams are not going to stay playing at that level throughout a season. I also agree on Manning he is a great regular season QB but the trend with him has always been as you get later in the season he starts to get worse. These last few years in Denver have definitely shown that.

I watched the game and saw the Bengals run the ball a ton and use a lot of quick hitting pass plays to neutralize the pass rush. Very few pass rushers are going to do anything with that. They also ran away from his side most of the time.

Didn't say either would win but one will be there IMO.

Yeah I was just saying that I doubt we have to worry about neither of them adding another SB to their case.

I'd much rather see NE win another one before Pitt. Pitt fans are insufferable.

Yep. I don't like the word unstoppable in sports. Any team in pro sports can be stopped. We have seen it over and over. Manning has a big tendency to have his teams looking great early on and in the regular season but they usually sputter in the postseason.

If Denver loses next week, do they drop to the 3 seed? Or is the 2 seed locked up for them? I'd love to see them drop out of a bye.
